This began during his campaign for Presidency, where he made comments suggesting women deserve 'some form of punishment' for having abortions.

Yet these attacks on reproductive choices have a trickle-down effect, and although protesting outside health clinics that provide abortions has been happening for years, there was a steep rise in cases of picketing, vandalism, trespassing, obstruction and hate mail/calls from 2015 to 2016 according to the National Abortion Federation.

To show what it's like for a woman to undergo the abuse waiting for them as they try to access their legal right to a safe abortion, Planned Parenthood have released a Virtual Reality video called Across The Line.

The eight-minute video is fairly distressing, as it uses real audio clips from rallies and protests of people hurling abuse at women. Slurs like 'You're a whore', 'Shame on you', 'Start closing your legs' and 'Maybe your Mum should have aborted you' are played to chilling affect throughout.

The Sea Change Programme showed the video at Sundance Film Festival, Cleveland International Film Festival, and South by Southwest Interactive, and viewers found it eye-opening. 'It was insane that people actually had the nerve to say that to people they don't actually know,' one said.

The Huffington Post reached out to healthcare workers at various clinics to see whether this distressing video was an accurate portrayal of pro-life harassers. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they claimed it was accurate, if a little tame.

Pearl Brady, a volunteer clinic escort in Jamaica, Queens said:

'Protesters don't just yell abhorrent things at people; they surround people and engulf them as they walk down the sidewalk.

'In the video, you don't see the huge posters with Photoshopped mangled fetuses that protesters will shove in people's faces and use to block their path.

'You don't see how intimidating it can be to people to have protesters lining both sides of the sidewalk yelling obscene things at you from every direction.

'You don't see how the protesters will prey upon anyone who looks the slightest bit uncomfortable or upset and will do everything they can to bring people to tears.'
